What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. Somewhere as small as Fawley Bottom, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Fawley Bottom
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you are dealing with skirting caulk that keeps splitting and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors alike.
Somewhere as small as Fawley Bottom, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
FAQs for Fawley Bottom
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Fawley Bottom?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fawley Bottom is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You will get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
When to call us in Fawley Bottom
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Community buildings like St Mary the Virgin's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
